If LinkedIn was my only selected network, how can I remove the empty container above my form? if-linkedin-was-my-only-selected-network-how-can-i-remove-the-empty-container-above-my-form
You can remove the empty container by editing the form, selecting Facebook or Twitter as an option for Social Form Fill, then de-selecting Facebook or Twitter as an option for Social Form Fill. This will reset the social options within the form fill container and remove it from your form.
